Thanks Patricia.
Probably handedness has nothing to do with which keys you hit or don't
hit. It has to do with the way you were taught to touch type. I.e., you
know where the comma and quotes keys are "instinctively."

My most recent copy of PC World mentions a method of remapping one's keys
by editing the Registry (find.pcworld.com/41726), and a freeware app for
XP and 2K, KeyTweak, by one Tavis Krumsick, available at
find.pcworld.com/41728. Haven't tried either, as I work at too many
machines, some of which are used by others, so I don't dare get used to
too different key layouts in anything bu XyWrite (which only I use). I'm
forever hitting CapsLock when I think I'm hitting Tab, but never hit
Right Alt or Ctrl or Enter for, say, ?, comma, or quotes. Odd, too,
because I'm a lefty, and one would expect MORE errors on the right hand.
Go figure.
Patricia
